And he was great on Reno 911

My look alike on him from first time I saw was former Brewers great Jose Valentin

Get Hoskins back and this lineup is 🔥

Good send too with two out, though I’m sure there would have been complaining about the 3B coach if he had been thrown out (which he would have been if the throw had been about a foot closer to the line).

Probably true although with a fast runner I am usually fine with the aggressive sends. It's when they get aggressive with slower guys that makes me mad.

How much worse would this team be without Ortiz?

Would you rather have Burnes every 5-6 days, or Ortiz?

Ironically their 2024 bWAR is identical as of today. How incredible would it be if Ortiz for Burnes straight up (for one year of Ortiz!) was an even trade?

[BruisedCrew]

Bauers is 4 for his last 37

[Kripes - Brewers]

Gotta get Ortiz some Sgt Dangle short-shorts for his bobble-head!😝

A classic case of overexposure. The more he plays the worse he's going to look.

Contreras needs a couple days off. This 162 game effort just isn't going to work out.

He's gotta be feeling the pressure hard at this point. When Hoskins comes back, and surely Mitchell, there will be some big questions about the 26-man...

Especially if he has to have a big wrap on his finger.

It looked like he slid into 2nd funny on that steal late in yesterday's game. Dude wants to play every day, and I respect that, but I'd give him Friday off so he can get two days in a row.

Code Red with another solid outing

I thought Sanchez catches once per week. But I'm sure with the Cubs everything changes.

I'm talking about having a couple days off completely. Every game Contreras hasn't caught this year, he's DH'd.

Oh OK,  I know his idol is Molena, so maybe that has something to do with it.

There was a point where he was our best defensive 1b but after last night...

An off night doesn't invalidate a general truism.

Payamps scares me against Chicago.

Rea will definitely make it through 5. 

I was worried about a jinx, but indeed he did.

Rea 79 pitches. One more would have been ideal.

[Team Canada]

Well shoot, someone scored on Hudson.

In what way? Nothing happened in the 6th.
